TWO HAND SWORD OF LANDSKNECHT TYPE. South German or Austrian, C.1580. Landsknechts, as the name implies were foot soldiers, and mercenaries skilled in hand-to-hand combat earning great recognition for their skill in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. In the second half of the 16th century, the Reformation polarized Europe with old territorial and political disputes resurfacing. Wars broke out throughout France and the Netherlands and the Landsknechts were employed to reinforce less-skilled local armies. The two-hand sword was used by soldiers of exceptional stature to cleave openings in infantry ranks which broke the formation initiating the melee in which individuals fought hand to hand, the specialty of the Landsknechts. This example ranks with the largest at 76 1/2" total length. The 56 5/8" flamberge (wavy) blade incorporates two-blade catcher side lugs. Many South German and Swiss town arsenals included two-hand swords in their stock. Notable examples are Graz and Zurich where those swords remain today. This example is further distinguished by its unparalleled age character. The blade and hilt have a soft brown surface patina testifying its age. The grip retains much of its original leather covering. The blade has some white paint spatter from being hung in a manor house or lodge where the ceilings were repainted from time to time to cover soot from candle lighting, an integral part of its history.

Exquisite North Italian (Brescia) Flintlock Pistol, ca. 1650. This exceptional pistol represents the height of the gunmaker's art at a time when all the work was done by hand.

Lock plate chiseled in relief with Green Man face at the rear and Leda and the Swan forward of the hammer; the serpentine hammer chiseled in the round with warrior holding a shield and sword; frizzen with Green Man face. Forward of the pan is a small flat, signed “G. Bat./Frani Bcia” in script, for Giovanni Battista Francino (2nd?), Brescia. Expertly restored figured root walnut full stock with inset chiseled steel panels and mounts decorated with foliate scrollwork and additional grotesque mask motifs en suite with the barrel and lock, and chiseled and pierced winged grotesque-figure trigger, pierced trigger-guard finial, and a belt-hook.
